It will be fair to say that the North London derby was a fairly contested game as both sides were playing end to end football creating chances.
However, in the end, the game was decided by a thunderbolt scored by Arsenal star Tomas Rosicky early on in the second minute of the game to help Arsenal earn all three points.
The Czech star unleashed a rocket from just inside the box and perhaps even two goalies could not have stopped that shot.
Rosicky rarely scores a goal for Arsenal but when he does, it is an absolute beauty.
Other than Rosicky, Chamberlain was the one troubling Tottenham alot and had two decent chances to score but failed.
In defense, big German Per Mertesacker was the key to stopping in-form Adebayor. Here are Arsenal player ratings vs Tottenham.

7.5 for the Ox? He was shocking!!!!! Your best player was Dean for keeping Sagna on the pitch despite a tackle identical to the one that got adebayor sent off last season. Unfortunately Rose didnt roll around and scream like a 9 year old girl like Arteta did ….until the red card was shown then leap to his feet! Your centre backs played well too but it was fortunate that Dim Sherwood didnt have the brains to use Soldado instead of having one long ball tactic. Great goal though.
